Congratulations. You have completed Tier 1, 'The Foundation'. You know WHAT the melanin system is. In Tier 2, we are going to learn exactly HOW it works in every system. We will dedicate entire modules to neuromelanin in your brain, the magnet inside your head, your magnetic blood, and the chemicals that control your habits. We will use the vocabulary we've built, so don't worry if it felt fast. Each topic is coming back around, but this time, we are bringing the full weight of the research papers with us. Are you ready?
